Submitted by: David K.
God Mode and Infinite Ammo:
---------------------------
Alter game files at your own risk and always make backups. Navigate to the game folder,
find the "user.cfg" file and open it in a text editor. Change the following lines and
save cahnges for the desired effect.
Change "g_global_god off" to "g_global_god on" and
change "g_god off" to "g_god on" for God Mode.
Change "g_unlimitedammo off" to "g_unlimitedammo on" for unlimited ammo.
Can't Find the Bomb:
--------------------
In 'Cursed', Artyom is tasked with destroying the tunnel and airlock where the nosalises
(mutants) are spawning from. Position yourself so Khan and the defenders are behind you
for the following directions:
* The bombs are at the end of the right tunnel.
* Destroy the left tunnel by "using" the glowing bomb hologram on the tunnel supports at
the dead end.
* Destroy the airlock by going up the stairs and using the bomb holographic on the
supports. The stairs are to your right (and a little forward), if you are standing
with Khan and the defenders at the station's entrance.
DJ Artyom:
----------
Tasked with an S.O.S. message from "Defense", you complete this objective in
"Outpost". Enter the first Nazi controlled building (the one where a Demon
snatches a fleeing Nazi in a preset condition) and battle through it.
Get yourself on the upper level of that building. On the upper story, there is
a hallway with three tripwire mines (and two Demons who are easily exploited
for the Demon killer achievement). Navigate through the mines and check the
right room at the end of the corridor. There is a ramp leading to the rooftop.
On the rooftop, you should see a pre-set corpse with a Kalashnikov.
The communications apparatus is on the corner of this rooftop.
Realist Achievement:
--------------------
Decline the kid's offer to lead you at Riga Station to earn this secret task.
Easter Egg: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Reference:
-------------------------------------
In the Library, the two rangers accompanying you will read through the titles
of several books, including one called Roadside Picnic (1977) by the Strugatsky
brothers. The book was the basis for Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 film STALKER, which
in turn was one inspiration for GSC World's 2007 videogame of a similar name:
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl.
Moral Choice Indicator:
-----------------------
While there are obvious moral choices in the game (where both decisions are
obvious), there are more subtle moral choices that will determine which ending
(just two) you get at the end. When choosing an action, the game world will
temporarily flicker with a rust-ochre color (and you will hear faint murmuring)
if you made a moral choice (good or bad).
Sneaking and Armored Suits:
---------------------------
At Armory Station, before climbing into the train car, you can purchase a
Sneaking Suit for 100 military cartridges from the vendor across from the
Ammo Exchange.
Note that the vendor next to the Stealth Suit vendor sells an Armor Suit which
will decrease the damage Artyom takes (both suits can be worn, but only the last
one visibly reflected on the body model). At Polis, a vendor next to the Ammo
Exchange sells a similar Armor Suit (same price as the other suits).
Preventing Accidental Ammo Discharges Hand Over Fist:
-----------------------------------------------------
When pumping the Tihar (Pellet Gun) or the Hilsing (Spear Gun), you can accidentally
discharge ammunition when the animation resets to "fire mode" (because the primary
fire button or Right Trigger also works the air pump). Apparently, the game doesn't
tell you the Alternate Fire (or Precision Aim) also works the air lever. If you use
the Alt.Fire or Left Trigger to work the air pump, you will not accidentally
discharge any ammunition until you are ready (the Tihar and Hilsing only have
aim-down-sight for secondary fire).
Nightvision goggles:
--------------------
Besides buying the Sneaking Suit at Armory Station, you can get a pair of nightvision
goggles at Front Lines. When in control of Artyom, turn around and follow the train
tracks. The nightvision goggles will be in a red breaker box guarded by two soldiers.
Extended filter:
----------------
Avoid jumping and sprinting to extend the use of your filter.

1.While in the Library, the two rangers will say the titles of several books.
One of them is "Roadside Picnic" (1977) by the Strugatsky brothers, which is the
book that Andrei Tarkovsky's 1979 movie "STALKER" was based on, which then was the
inspiration behind S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow Of Chernobyl.
2.The first person you can talk to resembles a "loner" Stalker and says
"Take it easy bro!"
3.The scene with the campfire with the guitar.
4.The winter mask that are on dead people.

Armory easy money:
------------------
At the Armory level, after meeting Andrew the Blacksmith, you have access to ammo and two
guns at his shack. You can pick them up, trade them at the weapon shop for a "Duplet" for
a 100-200 bullets profit, giving you enough money to buy the best weapons available, a
suit, and load up on ammo.
